Matta on 2 newest Buckeyes

Ohio State announced the signing of two 2013 recruits today, 6-8 Marc Loving of Toledo St. John's and 6-3 Kameron Williams of Baltimore Mount St. Joseph's. Coach Thad Matta commented on each at an afternoon news conference:

On Loving:

"Marc has been committed to us for a long time (since August 2010). He’s one of those guys that you like in recruiting because when he committed to us he was about 6-6 and he’s almost 6-9 now (and 215 pounds).

"He’s a guy that I think can play multiple positions for us with his skill level, his ability to shoot the basketball, with his size. He comes from a great high school program (with) great high school coaches. We’re excited to get him in here."

"When I first saw Kam this summer, it was kind of like, ‘That’s exactly what I was looking for,’ a guard that finds ways to score the basketball. He can do it in a variety of ways. He’s a great free throw shooter, he gets to the foul line, he shoots threes, he finishes, he’s very, very athletic for his size.

"A lot like Marc, he’s from a storied high school program in Baltimore."
